by Ricarda Octavia Huch (1864 - 1947)

Begegnung II
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Unsre Herzen waren wie Geschwister,
Die zusammen lachten und sich härmten,
Wie verlaßne Kinder bang sich wärmten
An des Herdes heimlichem Geknister.

Vor des Lebens Macht und Grausamkeiten
Band sie gleicher Trotz und gleiches Weinen,
Nicht Geschick noch eignes Widerstreiten
Trennte je ihr magisches Sicheinen.
Steigt verschlungner Chor der Herzen alle
Wogenhoch auch über Süd und Norden -
Unverhofft begegnen sich im Schwalle
Deins und meins in zärtlichen Akkorden.
